Easy.

That's the whole problem: not all of us are mathematicians. In fact,
most of us aren't. Most of us are programmers or pretty close at that,
which has to do a lot with math, but it isn't the same thing.
People misinterpret some things sometimes. Shit happens. But you can't
blaim them for agreeing with their reading of a text instead of yours,
even if you think that their reading isn't logically possible. After
all, the human brain is no computer; sometimes it makes a decision which
isn't logically correct.
If you want pure logic, talk to Spock.
